It’s Long Covid Awareness Day. This year marks 3 years of living with it for me… and my health continues to be precarious. I do my best to walk through life in the present and to manage what I’m able to - while relentlessly advocating for myself in the Canadian* medical system. If this sounds like you too… know that you’re not alone. I see you. #LongCovid #MECFS #POTS #LongCovidAwarenessDay*added for clarity. I also do not currently have any spoons, I’m minus spoons and bed ridden, so I cannot reply to DMs.

Random medical thoughts, medication talk: When you realize the beta blocker you’ve been on for two years was making your fatigue WAY worse… Back to the drawing board for treating my #POTS, I suppose. I don’t want to deal with that extra tired/sluggish feeling, if it’s preventable. Especially on top of my autoimmune issues. I think one of the hardest parts of #chronicillness is piecing apart symptoms and medication side effects, and then choosing what’s best for your individual needs.
